Kidney stones update

So here the story. I went to the ER Tuesdays morning at about 230 with severe back pain. I had kidney stone about ten years ago also. So anyway they did and X-ray and said I had a 7.5mm kidney stone. So owner to the urologist Thursday. She sent me for a X-ray and ultra sound. Saying that I would probably have to have the surgery again like last time. So the results came back and the X-ray showed it hasn't moved at all its still sitting in my kidney. So she isn't convinced its a stone anymore. But what's throwing her is I have all the symptoms of one. So she sent me for a ct and I go back Monday to find out what we do. Now I have back pain but not too bad it's more like just an ache now. She is going to talk to the surgoen on monday to see ehat he thinks (shes a pa). Had anyone had the same thing happen? Has anyone had a kidney stone that didn't move at all before? Any input would help. Just stressing out now about what it could be. I am thinking the worse now because my dad had a tumor on his kidney before and kidney issues run in my family.

Update
So it's def a kidney stone and have to have surgery on Thursday.

They tried crush it. But that didn't help, I passed a few crumbs. My stint blokes my kidney and had to be replaced. So I ended up having surgery. Where they cut my kidney open and went in and got it. Ugh talk about pain. But at least I didn't have to pass it. Because when I passed the crumbs, I had infection so bad it was awful. If I ever get another I have to go straight to the doctor for surgery. Because of having one kidney.

What did they end up doing to help you?

The day they did the ct, teu said I had a few in my left also. Well I went to the kidney doctor and he did x rays and a ct and come to find out my left kidney was the size of a dried up raisin!! It was dead!! Took these doctors here 29 years to figure that out:(

Quoting irishluck112211:

Omg that's crazy!

Quoting mommieof38829:

I had a stone the size of a d battery in my kidney for probably a good 3 years before I could get any doctor to do a ct.

Nope. ): I have hundreds of cysts in both kidneys, they will not touch them, just help me manage the pain.

Do sorry you have to suffer for years. They won't even blast them (forget what it's called) the don't have to open you or anything it's a big machine they do from you side.

I have had the same kidney stones since 2007. They have not passed and no one will remove them since I have kidney disease, and messing with my kidneys will make it worse. I just take pain meds when the pain gets bad.
